  • College Logic

    A friend sent me this -  I thought it was funny since it shows the lack of good common sense that some people have, but I hope no one finds it offensive. Oh well, I'm always offending someone, it seems like. More to come later.

    Two Colorado
    guys, Jim and Harry, are sitting at their  favorite coffee shop.  Jim turns to Harry and says, You know, I'm
    tired of   going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the University and
    sign up for some classes. 

    Harry thinks it's
    a good idea, and the  two leave. The next
    day, Jim goes down to the college and meets 
     the dean of admissions, who signs
    him up for the four  basic classes: Math,
     English, History, and Logic.  

    Logic, Jim asks, what's that?  

    The dean says, I'll show you. Do you own a weed
    eater?  

    Yeah.  

    Then logically because you own a weed eater,
     I think 
     that you would have a yard.

    That's true, I do
    have a yard.

    I'm not done, the
    dean says. Because you have a yard, I think 
    logically that you would have a house.

    Yes, I do have a
    house.

    And because you
    have a house, I think that you might logically have a family.  

    I have a family.  

    I'm not done yet. Because you have a family,
    then  logically you must have a wife.

    Yes, I do have a
    wife. And because you have a wife, then logically you must  be a 
    heterosexual.  

    I am a heterosexual.

    That's amazing.
    You were able to find out all of
    that  because I have a weed eater.  

    Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the
    dean's  hand, and leaves to go meet Harry
    at the coffee shop.  

    He tells Harry about his classes, how he is
    signed up for Math, English, History, and
    Logic.  

    Logic, Harry asks, what's that?  

    Jim says, I'll show you. Do you have a weed
    eater?

    No.

    Then you're a
    queer.

  • Job Searching

    In a word, it's sucking right now and I don't know if I'm going to have a job by the time classes start. *groans*
    Some of it is that with my former job, I had no choice but to sign up for evening classes because I was needed through the daytime. Now, everyone hiring part-time seems to be looking for evening help. X_X. And I'm supposed to be the lucky one? I'm beginning to have my doubts. LOL.

    By the way, that quiz result *points up* is just hilarious, don't you think?

  • Trust

    Sometimes it's easy for logic to get in the way when you've got the thought of 'don't walk, run'  pounding in your brain

    each second, another whisper that continually crescendoes

    a crashing of waves in a war of self

    but please listen...

    Logic is often the mortal wound in a reality that is more than three dimensions

  • From Astrology to Underwear

    And I don't even wear that kind of underwear, not that anyone wanted to know that I'm sure. But anyway, it's a contest. Take the quiz, get five friends to do the same, and you're entered. Sound easy? Yep. Everyone should have at least five friends or enemies to annoy. ^_^.

    I sent off an essay for a scholarship that reads better than any of the drivel I pound out into my blog. ^_^. I hope.

    So I actually did something constructive rather than goofing off playing GoPets or Kingdom Hearts this weekend.

    Well, Survivor is on and I am off. Catch ya later!

  • My Mood


    Your Mood Ring is Blue-Green


    Inner emotions charged
    Yet, somewhat relaxed
    Mood Ring Generator

    Awesome, indeed. :) . It looks like I have at least one client. I cleaned windows this morning and it was not an easy a task as it sounds since it involved a ladder and climbing. Some of you are laughing, because you've seen me at my worst 'fear-of-heights' moments. But I did o.k. actually. We weren't talking massive heights here. I still could not climb on a roof, I don't think, so don't ask me to do it. LOL.


  • You Are a Purple Flower


    A purple flower tends to represent success, grace, and elegance.
    At times, you are faithful like a violet.
    And other times, you represent luxury, like a wisteria.
    And more than you wish, you find yourself heartbroken like a lilac.

  • Your Animal Personality


    Your Power Animal: Deer

    Animal You Were in a Past Life: Panda

    You are a fun-seeker - an adventurous, risk-taker.
    While you are spontaneous, you are not very rational.
    The Animal Personality Test

    Yeah, I think I ran sometimes when there was the assembly line calling for rationality. But sometimes, let's be honest, even if what's logical is real it's pretty boring. Life needs a good shaking up now and then. But right now I'm just sitting on my fat butt like a Panda Bear. Care to join me in my lethargic lack-of-doing-ness?

    Really, I'm just very tired, I think. I slept in, but I had an upsetting (to put it mildly) dream that sorta kiboshed most of the good I did. Of course, they say you can't ever make up lost sleep so why bother? (Uh - because it feels good to sleep in and be lazy now and again?)

    I'm starting to go stir crazy with the lack of work and the obvious upset to my normal routine.

  • Happy Cinco de Mayo

    And welcome to my first post of the month. You'd think with as much free time as I should have waiting to find new work I'd have more free moments to post in here. Clarity of those thoughts, however, is often fleeting if it ever exists.

    By the way, formatting and editing a manuscript is the sucky part of the job of writing. I'm convinced of this. Honestly I think there are worst things, I just like to complain. (This is a shocking revelation I realize. heh.) I'm trying to get at least one of my book manuscripts back out the door before school starts up again in June. This is on top of all the scholarship applications, etc.  Decent formatting resource:  http://www.shunn.net/format/novel.html

    Okay sometimes I just sit around like a bump on a log and stare at my manuscript, peck a few words in, and then hours upon hours have passed without my noticing. Ever done that? I like to think I'm not the only one who gets that wrapped up in things. Of course, writing a hundred pages at a go is not anything new for me, not that I always manage that much.

    I'm closing at that for now.
